kaun kahta hai mohabbat ki zaban hoti hai
ye haqiqat to nigahon se bayan hoti hai

wo na aae to satati hai khalish si dil ko
wo jo aae to khalish aur jawan hoti hai

ruh ko shad kare dil ko jo pur-nur kare
har nazare mein ye tanwir kahan hoti hai

zabt sailab-e-mohabbat ko kahan tak roke
dil mein jo baat ho aankhon se ayan hoti hai

zindagi ek sulagti si chita hai 'sahir'
shoala banti hai na ye bujh ke dhuan hoti hai
